Server Side includes

.shtml

[malcolmcroucher]

Do you have name every page .shtml that uses server side includes or is it just the index page?

[phranque]

you don't even have to use a .shtml name if you have apache 2.0 or higher.
you can use SetOutputFilter INCLUDES [httpd.apache.org] and all SSI directives in your source will be processed.

otherwise i believe SSI processing is typically based on file name and/or mime type of the (parent) document.

To parse both htm and html pages for SSI includes, you can use

AddHandler server-parsed .html .htm

in your Apache 1.x .htaccess file.

AddHandler is probably the better general solution.

i had SetOutputFilter on my mind because i had to use it recently - i believe it is the only apache solution for using ssi in a cgi script...
